49. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether he will reconsider the application of the county borough of Sunderland for financial assistance towards the cost of the Intercepting Sewer Scheme.

No. My right hon. Friend has no power to make a direct contribution towards the cost of this scheme, though the council will receive assistance through the rate deficiency grant.
